Dear Diary,

Today was rough. 

Ashley Snape was caught being rude to some professors again and got silenced. I had to settle it again but well, I'm sure that girl's got a really good heart despite what people think of her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have selected her as my P.A. I sure hope she'll cause less trouble.

I missed Rose, Naya, Henrick, Lillian and Aislynne again today. It was almost unbearable and walking by their office again shook my senses. Somewhere so bustling with students suddenly just turned into complete silence. It tugged my heartstrings hard today. 

Well, something else happened. Astarael left. She left leaving a note that she's going to take a trip around the world (again) to have some time alone reading on Ancient Studies. That girl just doesn't stop reading. It stayed in my office all night again wondering if I can pull through this. I really don't know.

The day cannot get any worst. Pupils found this diary. I'm still thinking why I'm even writing it in here considering how the students still read it but I guess it's time to lock it up in the drawer so no one can find it.

On a happier note, Julius is coming back to Scotland soon. He asked to go out in a few days. As Chief Warlock of Wizengamot, he constantly works night and day so it's hard to even get to meet him. He makes me smile. I sure hope he does do the same, especially during this gloomy season. 

I looked out of the window from my office. the sun was too bright for my eyes as I covered the curtains all day hiding in my room wondering whether hiding from everything would make me invisible. All I see now is - blank.
